Sure Does exist. I do indeed have a 1TB SATA Hard Drive. However I do believe that a 1TB HD only is availible in a Sony VAIO, I know 100% that Hewlett Packard or Dell does not offer this large of a Hard Drive.

Go to this page

http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?CategoryName=cpu_VAIONotebookComputers_RA940G&ProductSKU=R05SU1DT&TabName=specs&var2=

That page is a Specification Page for the VAIO Model that I have. There you will see the customizable options for my model VAIO. Also you will notice that the Sony VAIO also has a 1.6TB Sata HD availible.

From sony page:

1.6TB (400GB x 4) 7200rpm SATA
1TB (250GB x 4) 7200rpm SATA
800GB (400GB x 2) 7200rpm SATA

Thats a raid config. "(400GB x 4)" means 4 400 gigs hard drives are stripe raided together.

A 1tb drive is impossible at the moment due to how hard drives, or specifically, their platters are manufactured.

420 gigs is about the limit currently for a HD.

Perpendicular Hard drives may lift this limit, but its too soon to tell.

RAID 0: Striping.
Lays down data in stripes across an array of drives for exceptional I/O performance, but with no data protection.

RAID 1: Mirroring.
Writes identical copies of data on a pair of disks for total redundancy, but with limited performance and inefficient use of drives.

RAID 3: Striping with parity.
Stripes data across two or more drives and stores parity data on a dedicated drive, providing data redundancy and performance that

Well said, congo.

I wanted to say the same thing (and I sorta tried to), but thought it might a offend him.

But yeah, if you want, we can teach you to build your own computer thats much more powerful than anything HP has got for the SAME price (maybe even less).

I don't offend very easy:)

Is that what you mean by Raided Together?

Yeah, you have 4 400 hard drives striped RAID'ed together (its a RAID 0).

1. Stop dubble posting
2. Yes your RAID 0 defination is correct.
3. Should have built it yourself. Would have saved you $1000 atleast  ;)
